Awesome times! I disagree with some other poster's thoughts, you are really coming out the hole like a monster. I've run 10.8s in the 1/4 with the same 330' time you're running.
How fast is the tranny shifting with the tranny module installed? That's one area where I think our cars leave ET on the table - it takes so long for every shift at WOT.
Anyway, that is an incredible ET for such a heavy car. You need to do something to get that monster into the 10s

I'm running in "sport" and letting the car do it's own shifting. I agree with you on the 10's. I'm going to be taking it out again next weekend and trying some different things. I love these M/T ET street radials, when they are inflated to the proper PSI, they are bulletproof, I was launching this car at 2,250 rpms and got absolutely no wheelspin!

I don't have a lot of experience racing Benzes

Excellent. Those MT radials are really sticky

Are you loading up the converter and holding the car on the brakes at the line? Have you tried sitting at idle and just flooring it to launch? I know that's not an ideal launch for a turbo car, but that big V12 should have plenty of grunt down low to flash the converter off the line.
Are there any tracks near you that are closer to sea level? Based on your corrected time, that right there (along with with a good dump

Good luck.
